To all whom it Ymay concern:

v`Be it knownthat ,1, -HENRY JURGENS, a

citizen of the United States, and a resident of Denver, 1n the county -of Denver and` State of Colorado, have'invented a new=and Improved Ice-'Cream Freezer, of Whichthe following is a fu1l,`clear, and exact descrip-v tion.

My invention relates to an ice cream. freezer, and a'n obJect of my invention is to providea stationary can into Which'the cream .may be fed-continually Without in. lterrupting the loperation of the movable parts, and a further object of my inventionv is to provide lin 'addition to they ordinary form of 'dasher, al1-,agitator for the ice and brine.

With the above' and as willmore fully hereinafter appear,1the present invention consists in 'certain novel detailsy ofconstruction and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and more particularly pointed out `in the-appended claims. v l l Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming apartv of this specitication, lin Which similar characters of reference 'indicate "corresponding partsin both the views, and in Which Figure 1 is'a verticaltransverse section taken through a preferred embodiment'of my invention, and Fig. 2 is a similar view The l,tub 3 v,0f-any suitable' construction,

.has immovably positioned centrally therein,

a cream can `4 of general cylindrical form, the top l5 of Which'h-as an inlet 6 closed by means of a cap '7. fAn outlet 8 extends Athrough the bottom' `9"and.,thro ugh the bottom.v 10 of the tub 3. 'This outlet is closed by. any suitable; means, as, for instance, a screw. cap 11. Centrally ]o'urnaled Within the lcan 1s asuitable' form of dasher 12, rig

idly mounted'upon the upper end of which wisI abeve gea'rl3 adapted tofengage the'vertically Vdisposed bevel gear 14,4011 vthe `innerl end 'of the. shaft 1 5, Which shaft is, actuated vbyeJ crank 1 6 orv other vsuitable rotating means. These 'actuating members are -car-V 'riedbyva suitableform of bridge 17, one .end lof which is pivoted at'18 to they upper edge lof t-he'tub '3,"and the opposite end 'of which is fastened to theftubby a jam nut 19 or other "suitable-holding means.

other objects in View,

let', and the operation continued.

' Having thus described my invention I Rigidly mountedupon the shaft 15 is a "elatively large bevel gear 20, .adapted to engage an annular ear 21 inte al with the top 22 of the cylin rical'agitatlng drum 23, the under 'surface of the top of which drum has a guideway 24 resting ony a rim 25'pro jecting from the'top 5 of thel can 4. 4The drum 2,3 isconcentric with the can 4 and isl spaced a art from said drum by'means of spirally ormed inwardly-projecting ribs'26.y

This drum has numerous apertures 27 ex' tending therethrough. l

It will be seen by the above outlined foonvstruction, that the unfrozen .cream -is fed through the inlet 6 into the can 4 While the freezer isin operation, the dasher rotating in one direction asfiscommon lwith devicesof this character, v'vhile the agitating drum 23 is rotated in the `opposite direction to agitate the ice and'brine, Within the tub and' surroundingthe can 4. When the cream has reached a suiicient degree'of consistency, it

is withdrawn through the outlet 8 and additional unfrozen cream added through the inf claim' asl new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. lIn an icecream freezer, a tub, a cream. can immovably mounted mvsaidhtub, a drum within said tub surrounding said ycanand carried4 thereby, .a dasher Within sind can, an actuating shaft carried byl said tuband t gear connections withy said drum and'said dasher rotating said dasher in one direction and sald drum in the vopposite direction.

2. In an ice cream freezer, a tub, acream lcan immovably mounted'in said tub, a drum. within said tub surrounding said can and carried thereby, a dasher Within said can, an actuating shaft carried by said tub, gear connections With said drum and said dasher rotating said'dasher in one direction yand said drum in theopposite direction, and ribs can'4 and `agitating the brine and ice within l
